A simple shift in NHS critical care practice is set to save more lives from #Sepsis.
The @ICS_updates & @BritInfectAssoc now recommend continuous infusion for key antibiotics over intermittent dosing. Evidence shows increased 90-day survival.
We urge all hospitals to adopt this practice immediately

Results a bit surprising ("narrow spectrum" vancomycin change microbiome more), but this is just helicopter view.
